Men at work at the Adenta-Dodowa road
Dear Editor,
The recent announcement by the Ministry of Roads and Highways regarding the expansion of the Adenta-Dodowa road stirred mixed feelings among business operators and residents in the area.
While many were saddened by the inevitable disruptions to their daily lives, they complied with the directive and relocated as required.
I would like to extend my commendation to the Ministry of Roads and Highways for commencing this project. The progress made so far is admirable, and it is evident that considerable effort has been made in ensuring the smooth execution of the project.
As a concerned citizen, I am pleased to see infrastructure developments that aim to enhance the transportation network and improve the overall quality of life for residents.
The Adenta-Dodowa road serves as a vital link for commuters and businesses alike, and its expansion will undoubtedly alleviate congestion and facilitate smoother traffic flow.
It is my hope that the Ministry will continue to prioritise this project and maintain the same level of diligence and efficiency until its completion. The successful completion of the road expansion will not only benefit the immediate community but also contribute to the broader socio-economic development of the region.
I urge the Ministry to remain steadfast in their commitment to delivering this essential infrastructure project on schedule.
With continued dedication and collaboration, we can look forward to enjoying the improved road network for years to come.

Dear Editor,
I WRITE to express my growing concern about the increasing display of adult content on some television stations in the country.
These programmes, often aired during hours when children are most likely to be watching, pose a serious threat to their moral development and general well-being.
Television remains one of the strongest influences on young people, and stations have a responsibility to ensure that their content reflects the values we seek to instil in our society.
Unfortunately, some channels appear to prioritise sensationalism and profit over public safety and decency.
Such content not only exposes children to material they are not prepared to process but also undermines parents’ efforts to guide their behaviour.
I call on the National Media Commission (NMC) and other regulatory bodies to intensify monitoring and enforce stricter guidelines to protect viewers, especially minors.
Broadcasters must be reminded of their duty to promote responsible and wholesome programming.
Our airwaves should uplift, educate, and inform — not endanger the moral fabric of the next generation.

Dear Editor,
I AM writing to share my thoughts on the ongoing issue at Wesley Girls’ Senior High School, which has attracted national attention after the Deputy Attorney General released a statement in court.
The matter is about whether Muslim students are being denied the right to freely practice their religion, and whether they are being compelled to follow practices that go against their faith.
To me, this is not just a legal issue but a question of fairness and respect in our schools.
While the Constitution guarantees every student the right to practice their faith, schools also have traditions and rules that must be respected. As the saying goes, “When you go to Rome, you do what Romans do.” If a teacher is teaching, it is not right for a student to suddenly leave for prayers. That disrupts learning.
Instead, schools should provide a clear time and place for worship, so that students can honour their faith without disturbing academic work. There is time for everything; time to learn, and time to pray.
Wesley Girls SHS can continue to uphold its Methodist heritage while also respecting the rights of Muslim students.
This compromise will protect unity and ensure that our schools remain places of both discipline and inclusion.
